Victorinox Ranger Wood 55 Swiss Army Pocket Knife, Large, Multi Tool, 10 Functions, Locking Blade

This is a quality, solidly built knife, as you would expect from Victorinox. It is worth noting that it is not a small knife and is quite thick & heavy, weighing in at 175g compared to a "normal" penknife at about 80g. Don't be fooled into thinking this is a normal sized knife! The blade is 10cm long and locking and therefore not legal to carry in the UK without a very good reason.The unvarnished walnut finish is attractive and comfortable, and the blade is exceptionally sharp out of the box. The saw is a handy size for branches and also devilishly sharp. I don't doubt the quality of the other tools, victorinox has never failed me.I have two minor practical issues with this knife which I have not deucted any stars for - it is very difficult to open the can opener on mine without painfully bending a nail (not a frequently used item for me though), and you need to press the shield rather hard and into the body of the handle to unlock the blade - which is safe I suppose, you would have a hard time doing it by accident. I have found that this makes it very diffuclt to close the blade with gloves on.My one quality concern is that the shield-shaped stud and the connector it uses to unlock the blade is plastic (the spring that locks the blade is metal though, don't worry). It seems solid enough but I expected a protruding and frequently used component to be stainless on a Victorinox knife.I think the one I received may have been ex-display - the box was not in great nick, the handle had something sticky on it (from a price label?) and the various blades and tools had fingerprints on them. A brief clean sorted this out - there was no actual wear or damage and nothing affecting the use of the knife - this may be how the seller is able to offer them at bargain price (normal price is approx £75-80, I paid £55).

I've not had the knife for very long but it certainly seems to be everything you'd expect from Victorinox. The first thing I'd say is that it's a large knife. It's 23cm long with the blade extended, and the blade itself is 10cm. So if you live in the UK and are looking for a handy pocket knife as a daily carry for parcels, general use etc, this is not the knife for you as it's not legal to carry this in public. The blade is large and most importantly, it locks. Which makes it illegal to carry generally in the UK without very good reason.However, if you are looking for a knife for camping, gardening, or work, it's a cracking bit of kit. First off, it's awfully pretty. The wooden handle really looks great. It comes with:- Single 10cm, razor sharp general purpose blade- Extremely effective 10cm saw that will make short work of small branches etc- Can opener/small screwdriver- Bottlecap opener/large flat screwdriver- CorkscrewPlus of course the small less obvious things and double-use things, wire stripper etc. No scissors though. It's also got some really nice touches. The logo on the handle presses in to release the locked blade. Only the blade locks, the saw doesn't, but having said that it's held in place by some sort of very firm spring so I don't think it will move around a great deal. Sharper than a White Shark's mouth though so I'd be exceptionally careful when using it.All in all I love it. It looks great, feels great, and will do anything you ask of it I suspect. A really nice utility knife.

By far and away the best pocket knife I have purchased in a very long time. This knife is absolutely the dogs bollocks.Fantastic design, perfect wooden handle shaped grip so very safe to use,comfortable & has a brilliant feel to this knife.Great sharp blade,very good and handy saw blade and most importantly an amazing beer bottle opener. Honestly this knife will not let you down due to superb design and beautifully crafted. Don’t hesitate just buy it, no joke this is a fantastic knife,the best I’ve bought & that’s quite a few over the years. Very highly recommended won’t let you down. Superbly made knife.

I lreally like decent multi-tools. I have a Leatherman Charge, Victorinox Cyber Tool, & Victoinox Swiss Tool, & I really like them all.However, the handles & blades are all a little small for me (& I have smaller than average hands) & they all feel a little lightwight for anything other than small jobs.I wanted something a little bigger. more like a regular size knife, so when I saw this for £55 (down from £80) I just had to get it.Glad I did. This is a supurb knife. Looks great, feels greatIts about an inch longer than regular SAK's (Swiss Army Knives) with a longer shaped handle which is extremly comfortable & stable to grip, & it has a longer, thicker blade too which is a bit stronger for heavier duty tasks.which is just perfect for my needs.It has the usual Victorinox High Standard / quality & the wooded scales add a touch of class.As with all SAK's the Stainless steel is of decent quality, & is tough enough to stand some abuse & still hold a sharp edge for a while,And when it does get dull, it is easily honed or sharpened in a couple of minutes.This is my now new favourite muti-tool.

Perfect Swiss knife from the top brand imo perfect
